I have a V+ box, with HDMI & HD enabled, and I have been able to copy programmes to the hard disc of a Lite-on LVW5045 HD/DVD recorder using the V+ scart 'out to tape' socket.

As mentioned in previous postings, I have topped and tailed the recording and removed adverts, ready to save to removable media.

What I then can not do, is burn the resulting recording on the Lite-on hard drive to a DVD

. Other forums suggest the Liteon LVW-5045 has failed or that it does not recognise the DVD media

.

However, unwilling to give up I tried to copy out of the LVW-5045 into a VCR, using a scart connection, the resulting VCR tape recording was useless due to Macrovision.

From this I have to conclude that at least some of the video output from the V+ box has Macrovision copy protection enabled. For some reason this did not stop me copying from V+ hard disc to Lite-on hard disk, but did stop me from copying from that Lite-on hard disc to DVD or VCR tape.

Unless someone else knows otherwise?
